God's Promises

The other day we had a good spring downpour. When we went outside afterwards we noticed this:

The rainbow was framing our street. How cool is that?

While I was standing there taking a picture, God sweetly reminded me that He keeps His promises and we were doing His will. Just in the few months we've been here, He has kept several. One of the biggest ones has been "supplying our need." If you notice, the Scripture says "need," not want. However, there have even been "wants" supplied. He has been so good to us and I know He will continue to take care of us.

One of the ways He has supplied is by using our church people. They have blessed us over and over again by kind words (this is a big one for a couple who really doesn't know what they're doing), food poundings, money, fresh eggs every week, scrumptious baked goods, and much more. They truly are a blessing to all of us.

Sometimes this world can become so oppressive, depressive, aggressive, possessive, (just trying to see how many 'ive words I can think of) and, you know that God is up there still in control, but it's nice when he literally sends you a smile and confirms it.

Have a blessed weekend to all 2 of you! :)

He's 2!

Happy Birthday to our sweet, but ornery Weston! 

No, that isn't chocolate. ;)

New Chalkboard Art

Had some fun doodling the other day:

Started with this one and then added some other spizzazz.

In The Neighborhood

Our neighbor has two trees that are beeeeautiful right now! Love how spring is popping out all over.

Gettin' Our Craft On

Tricia has been over here this week and we've been having all sorts of fun! One thing we've been doing is making some sewing projects that has caught our attention on Pinterest. 

The tutorial for Arilynn's dress can be found here.

Linking up to Finished Object Friday.

Built-In Cabinet Redo

My goal this year was to try and blog once a week. As you can see, I can mark that one off as failed. :) Moving on...

One of my favorite details about this house was the built in cabinet. Beadboard as the backing, super cool hardware, a place to showcase a lot of junk, what's not to love? I know that what I did to it would make some people cringe, but, yup, I painted it! I have a thing for bright and white-it makes the room seem bigger.

This is when we first moved in (obviously):

Then again after we painted the walls:

And, after:

 

Wesley somehow talked me into displaying some of his oil cans (that are crooked):

We kept the original hardware. Didn't even have to spray paint it. ;)

 

Lots of Spoilin'

We enjoyed having our parents come this weekend! We kept them busy showing them a few sights of WV. It was pretty funny hearing all their exclamations of the hills and hollers. :) Here's hoping the kids aren't too rotten after all the spoilin' they received the past few days. Even great grandparents, great aunts, and aunts sent gifts.
